In the end of April 2016 it will be a year since Fennovoima started to prepare areas of Hanhikivi cape for the new nuclear power plant construction in Northern Finland. At the same time the protest camp against Fennovoima celebrates its first anniversary. The camp was able to stay inside the construction area over five months and was able to slow down the construction works. During the summer, dozens of blockades took place and newspapers wrote about various sabotages. In September, after the eviction that lasted eight days, the camp moved outside the construction site to continue its activities with help of local supporters. Blockades and other activity against nuclear power did not stop at any point.

In the end of April we are going to return to the construction site. The aim is to paralyze the whole construction site, for a long time. With a big enough group we can reoccupy the area and stay there. We don’t only want to occupy the area back but also fill the surrounding areas with activities against Fennovoima, nuclear power, destruction of nature and capitalism, and by respecting the plurality of tactics.

Come and join us to make this possible. Come to share your knowhow in a workshop or to learn from the more experienced, and start your summer with numerous comrades in the middle of nature just awaking for the spring.

The event starts on Friday 22 April with a party continuing over the weekend. The following week will be filled with action and workshops, sharing knowledge and knowhow, getting to know new comrades along with action. On Tuesday 26 April it will be thirty years from Chernobyl accident – symbolically perfect moment to stop a new nuclear project. On Chernobyl Day various organizations will carry out their protests and we will also do our part. The event will climax next weekend to the First of May when the aim is to organize an all-time riotous First of May party of Northern Finland. In the nearby cities marches for First of May are also organize and we can join them too.

Fennovoima energy company intends to start to build a new nuclear power plant at the ecologically valuable Hanhikivi Cape in Pyhäjoki, Northern Ostrobothnia of Finland. Join us to stop the construction of the 100 000 year lasting problem, at its beginning!

Finnish energy policy is still stuck in the centralized energy production and attempts to provide more nuclear power as a climate friendly solution, hiding the fact that nuclear power is an enemy of the more sustainable and equal forms of decentralized renewables.

The decentralized and horizontal production of energy is just one part of the more equal society which we are heading for. The ecological, and social cricis in general, requires us to demolish the current model of economy and to build alternatives where production provides the necessary ground for everyones needs.

A struggle against one irresponsible project is part of the global struggle for conditions of life itself. In recent years, socially and ecologically destructive projects have been stopped by the political power of the people joining their forces to dismiss political decisions. It is time to realize that also in Finland the acts of people can be stronger than the words of politicians in making history.

During the camp we aim to learn and share skills and ideas on different forms of direct resistance. Participants are encouraged to provide program related to the topics. We prefer consensus decision making. At the autonomous camp any kind of discrimination is forbidden (sexism, homophobia, racism, etc.). Party political or nationalistic signs don’t belong to the camp.
